Snickerdoodles
Originally uploaded by professor evil

A couple days ago I was tweeting about having to make a second batch of Snickerdoodles because my Evil Family had eaten the ENTIRE first batch -- some eight dozen cookies.

Fortunately making more wasn't a big deal: I like baking Snickerdoodles. Still, I was a bit amazed that my husband and three young boys could have been quite that greedy, especially in just a matter of two or three days.

Anyway, I made the second batch. I let it sit overnight for the flavor to develop. Then I took the nice big container of fresh Snickerdoodles and opened the deep freezer to hide them away so that my Evil Family could not NOM them a second time.

And lo, inside the freezer I found...

...you've guessed it, haven't you?

Yeah. Well.

The plus side is that we now have lots of Snickerdoodles?

I am awash in snickerdoodle envy.

SO MANY SNICKERDOODLES!

I wish I had that problem.

*poses nobly*

Allow me to be the first to [ahem] volunteer to take the extra snickerdoodles off your hands. No, it's OK, you don't have to thank me...

I need Snickerdoodles!

BFF and I were supposed to bake cookies all day today, instead of presents to each other. But she had to cancel. Her daughter that slipped and hit her nose needed surgery. I guess that a good reason to cancel.

Still need cookies!

Feel free to send me some. ;)

I fail to see the problem.

Which snickerdoodles won this year's competition - the fresh-out-of-the oven or the let-set-and-cool cookies?

I personally prefer them fresh out of the oven every time, but my family doesn't seem to care either way.

Could you share your recipe? I don't like the one I have at all.

[rj-anderson.livejournal.com]

I got mine from kizmet_42 a few years back. You can find her original entry, recipe and related comments right here (http://kizmet-42.livejournal.com/26227.html).

Thank you! Yours look perfect. And now you have so many. :D

I have long ago learned not to accuse anybody of anything I did not my own self see them do.

Snickerdoodles need eggnog.

[rj-anderson.livejournal.com]

Eggnog. And snickerdoodles.

...why did I never think of this INCREDIBLE STROKE OF GENIUS?

It will be done. It MUST be done!

*paces wildly around house, wondering how to get eggnog in the middle of a gigantic blizzard*

Got eggs? Got nog? got milk? Cream? Must be some recipes...

Googles "eggnog recipes..."

*DING!*
